They don't care.

Fonterra only cares about gouging as much money out of the domestic market as possible. Why else would we be paying more for a block of butter than a whole tub of icecream?They don't care that those bottles aren't recyclable (technically they are, but only with specialist equipment that nobody has, and the resulting plastic is low quality and nobody buys it to make stuff out of). They don't care about anything except making profit.

Another one

More lies from NZ companies. The Commerce Commission needs to be getting stuck into these companies.

Fonterra - dirty, misleading & false marketing

Whats new! So much for the "innovation" of the lightproof bottle. In my opinion, Fonterra have been controlling and monopolising the entire dairy industry in the name of "a collective" for ages, pushing and buying other competitors out, copying others ideas, "aquiring" the bulk of supermarket shelf space and more. Why do New Zealanders pay top dollar for milk, which is more expensive than many other places in the world? I'm told it is to do with the international commodity price, yet these guys flap about having to pay anything for water (which is also an international commodity) very one-sided. All the warm & fuzzy Fonterra TV ads try to convince us that they are the good guys that have kiwi interests at heart, while all they are interested in is PROFIT first and foremost! Dont even get me started on what they have done to the environment.
